Re: Suggestions to light up a rectangular-shaped Chinatown store

Hi thanks so much for the tips.

Unfortunately the lights in the shop are a mix of cool fluorescents overhead and hot warm display incandescent. The cameraman does own 2 small tungsten (I believe) open-faced barndoors (and as you know are harsh lights even when diffused with frosted translucent wax-like paper [ a preferred use for the cameraman although your input seems alot better])The camera itself is a Sony 3CCD camera which should handle light tones well (sorry don't know the model, but not as important I guess). Is this the same problem as you put forward solutions for?

Regarding the 1/2 grids, what types (are they chimera screens?) and/or brands do you usually use? Or am I able to make one myself?

I know the cameraman does have some gels but I guess they're just transparent coloured plastic sheets :P , but I don't know about the 1/2 plus green.... if not then are there any alternatives to this? Just in case...... :) Thanks for tips!! :)
